(TheRichest.com) Top 10 amazing new discoveries that can re-write the pages of history.

When it comes to history, recent discoveries prove that time and time again history is being rewritten.

As we grow and evolved as a species, one of the first things we have to acknowledge is that we don’t have all of the answers. Even though inventions have greatly assisted us in research, we aren’t right 100% of the time.

Regardless of whether we are correct in our research and theories about the past, it doesn’t stop the educational system from teaching the latest information at the time. But once a contradicting fact is released, the textbooks and history books have to be rewritten. They are not for a long time.

FEATURING: Stonehenge, UFOs at Area 51, the Buddha’s Birthday, Ardi the first "human," the discovery of Australia, space water, Jamestown, the other planet in our solar system Eris, ancient spiritual site Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, the bones of England's Richard III.

The Buddha wasn't born in Nepal

It is an odd thing to think about in terms of rewriting our history. It is also a good indicator to remind us that nothing is ever set in stone. For example, for decades it was thought that Stonehenge was a remote location that was dedicated to mysteries and magic. But archaeological digs on the site are now discovering that Stonehenge was closer to civilization than previously thought, thus forcing historians to reconsider what Stonehenge was actually used for.

It was once believed that James Cook discovered (i.e., Columbusing) the country of Australia in 1770. This "fact" has been cemented into history books and is "common knowledge" for most Eurocentric people around the world. However, a soldier discovered a set of coins in 1944, and they were sent to a museum in 1979 with a map indicating the location where the coins were found with an X. Once historians looked more closely at the coins, it was discovered that they dated back between 900-1300. This means that James Cook could NOT have discovered Australia, not by a long shot.

One of the most popular stories in our last decade was when Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet. People couldn’t comprehend the change or accept that Pluto is no longer a major planet in our solar system. This is all thanks to the discovery of the dwarf planet Eris, which is bigger than Pluto. Petitions and debates still continue as to whether to reinstate Pluto as a planet, and hopefully the mystery and question will be answered in the next few years. But until then, those textbooks from pre-1990 are pretty much useless.

Non-human skulls are ignored by science.

An amazing updated chat with Michael Cremo about Extreme Human Antiquity. Incredible evidence points to a much different and far older origin of the human race than currently presented through the well-funded mainstream Darwinian model. Over the past two centuries, archaeologists have found bones, footprints, and artifacts showing that humans like ourselves have existed on earth for many millions of years. But many scientists have forgotten or ignored these remarkable facts. Why? “In connection with the California gold mine discoveries we find not only evidence for extreme human antiquity but also evidence illuminating the processes by which dominant groups in science exclude controversial facts from scientific discussion and public attention. These processes, which I collectively refer to as the “knowledge filter,” are a powerful factor in removing certain kinds of evidence from scientific discourse and research. Because of the very effective knowledge filtering efforts of Holmes, Sinclair, and other scientists in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, the California gold mine discoveries from Table Mountain are hardly known today.” – Michael Cremo The Nineteenth Century California Gold Mine Discoveries: Archeology, Darwinism, and Evidence for Extreme Human Antiquity.

Speaking of planets, it was believed for the longest time that life couldn’t exist on any other planet besides Earth. But when the Mars Rover discovered evidence of not only water, but traces of life, scientists had to go back and revisit the history books and scientific journals. If Mars has water, then it means that life can potentially be supported on the red planet. What does this mean for the future of the human race? Perhaps, should the Earth no longer be habitable, there are other options out there to ensure our survival.

There are more discoveries where this came from. If anything, these discoveries all prove that nothing is ever set in stone because history can change in an instant.
